FREQUENTLY ASKED

QUESTIONS WHO IS WATCHING MY CHILD? The majority of our staff members are recruited from local colleges and universities. Most importantly, our staff is made up of people who love kids. They want to spend their time playing, teaching, and working with children. All Kroc Center Day Camp staff members have cleared reference checks and a national background check. In addition, all staff members are certified in basic First Aid & CPR and receive extensive training in both how to care for youth and how to prevent childhood abuse. You can be sure that we are hiring the best of the best to work with your children.

HOW LARGE ARE THE CAMP GROUPS? WHAT IS THE STAFF TO CAMPER RATIO? Camp groups generally range from 15-32 campers per group. The staff to camper ratio ranges from 1:6 to 1:10 (depending upon the ages within the camp group) and a minimum of two counselors are always present, regardless of the number of campers.

WHAT SHOULD NOT BE BROUGHT TO CAMP? Please make sure that your camper leaves all electronic items (including cell phones), jewelry, toys, card games, and pets at home.

CAN I GET AN AGE EXCEPTION FOR MY CHILD? Campers must be the age indicated in the Day Camp description by September 1, 2017 in order to enroll in that camp. Children must be at least four years old on the first day of that camp session to enroll in a Pee Wee Camp.

WHAT IS ACA ACCREDITATION? ACA is an acronym for the American Camp Association. The ACA has developed a rigorous and in-depth set of standards affecting camp operations, staffing, programming, and safety procedures. Camps that meet these criteria are awarded an ACA Accreditation. We are proud to be an ACA Accredited Day Camp, providing a safe and enriching experience for our campers.

WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD BRING TO CAMP? Campers are required to wear socks and closedtoe shoes daily. Campers should wear seasonappropriate clothes in which they are ready to play hard and get dirty! For girls, we do not recommend skirts or dresses. If your child’s camp is scheduled to swim, a swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen will also be needed. Sandals are allowed on the pool deck only. Please label all items and place them in a backpack for your camper(s) to carry. Our Camp provides protective equipment for activities such as rock climbing, however, campers are always welcome to bring their own equipment as well. Pee Wee Parents: Please send your child in clothing and footwear he or she can put on without assistance. We strongly recommend sending your camper with a second set of clothes (in case your camper has a bathroom accident). Pee Wee camp is scheduled for a daily “quiet time” during which the campers may either take a brief nap or do a quiet activity. Parents are encouraged to send children with a blanket, special book, or something else that helps the child relax. No valuables, please.

WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS SPECIAL NEEDS? The Kroc Center is committed to the inclusion of all children in our Day Camp Program, however, the Kroc Center Day Camp Inclusion Program cannot provide specialized 1-on-1 supervision/ care for any individual camper. As part of the Inclusion Application process, each child (and at least one parent) will be required to attend an interview with the Inclusion Coordinator to discuss/determine if we can provide reasonable accommodations to meet your child’s needs and (most importantly) keep them safe while at camp. Please call the Inclusion Coordinator at (619) 269-1470 at least two weeks prior to your desired session’s start date to schedule your Inclusion Application interview.

ALL THINGS CAMP

HOW DOES LUNCH/SNACK WORK? Lunch and a morning/afternoon snack are provided to each camper free of cost! If a camper is a picky eater, has allergies or has dietary restrictions, we encourage parents to pack a lunch from home. Our daily schedules are very flexible and vary depending upon the activities planned for your child’s camp. The typical time frame for lunch is thirty minutes between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Snack and lunch menus will be emailed to parents the Friday before the scheduled camp and will also be available for pick-up each Monday at the sign-in table.

WHAT IF MY CHILD NEEDS TO TAKE MEDICATION DURING CAMP HOURS? We are happy to assist your child with their medical needs. Medication(s) must be in their original prescription container with the child’s name printed on the label and placed in a plastic bag. Please check-in the medication at the Day Camp Office and complete a Medical Information Sheet. Kroc Center staff will not dispense non-prescription medications without written parental consent.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CHILD GETS SICK OR INJURED? If a camper is too ill or hurt to continue their camp day, parents will be immediately contacted. For minor scrapes and bruises, Day Camp staff will complete a Report to Parent (RTP) form to notify parents of the event at pick-up time.

Fridays offer campers new opportunities and exciting activities that may include participating in performances or supporting their fellow campers from Specialty Camps.
